Grant Overview
The target outcome of Oregon's affordable housing advocacy program is to increase the availability of affordable housing units in the state's urban areas, particularly in cities like Portland and Eugene. This will be achieved through a combination of policy advocacy, community mobilization, and data-driven research. By influencing policy changes at the local and state levels, the program aims to reduce barriers to affordable housing development and increase funding for affordable housing initiatives.
Why do these outcomes matter in Oregon? The state's housing market is characterized by high levels of unaffordability, with 55% of low-income households spending more than 50% of their income on housing costs. By increasing the availability of affordable housing units, the program can help reduce housing insecurity and improve outcomes for low-income families.
How will the program be implemented? The affordable housing advocacy program will be implemented through a coalition of community-based organizations, advocacy groups, and research institutions. Funding will be used to support policy advocacy, community mobilization, and data-driven research, with a focus on influencing policy changes at the local and state levels.
